Lyrics
[Intro] [Rain Pattering on Cedar Shingles & Felt Piano]
Patter, tap... steady raindrops on the pitched roof pine
A morning rhythm of sublime design
[Verse 1] [Felt Piano & Muted Cello]
Six in the morning in the forest shack
With not a single earthly thing I lack
Cedar shingles soaked in the autumn rain
Washing away every lingering pain
Steam rises from the chimney on the roof
Giving our cozy sanctuary the proof
I lie beneath the heavy woolen quilt
In the safest haven ever built
[Pre-Chorus] [Rhodes Chords & Brush Snare]
Smell of damp earth floating through the screen
The most restorative morning I have seen
[Chorus] [Hypnotic Restorative Rain Drop]
Steady rain tapping on the cedar shingle roof
Wiping away all our heavy former proof
Inside the redwood canyon of the Big Sur hill
Where the morning breezes are gentle and still
Listen, rest, let the raindrops fall
A blessing of peace upon our cabin hall
[Verse 2] [Rhodes Licks & Cello Drone]
Your arm wraps warm around my sleeping waist
A peaceful devotion that cannot be erased
We listen to the rhythm of the dripping eaves
Landing on the wide green sword fern leaves
[Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Harmony & Cello Solo]
Let the rain fall all throughout the day
We have no reason to be on our way
Rain, shingles, love and loving grace
Inside this honest living space
[Chorus] [Full Grand Hypnotic Climax]
Steady rain tapping on the cedar shingle roof
Wiping away all our heavy former proof
Inside the redwood canyon of the Big Sur hill
Where the morning breezes are gentle and still
Listen, rest, let the raindrops fall
A blessing of peace upon our cabin hall
[Outro] [Rain on Shingles & Soft Breaths Fading into Sleep]
Rain on the roof...
Cedar dawn.
[Fade Out]
[End]
